There was a lot of link building discussion this past couple weeks.  From some very authoritative sources.

The first is actually a forum discussion from the well known Webmaster World forums.  It begins by asking the question: Does natural link building actually take place?

It’s been a very quiet few weeks in terms of link building.  But that’s to be expected in the online marketing industry.

It seems as if a topic is “hot” for a while and then the focus of industry bloggers moves.  But that doesn’t mean that people should change their focus from link building.

Link building is still key to a website’s performance online.  And as the following articles suggest, there are many different ways to get those links.

It was a quiet couple weeks in the link building world.  but there were a few posts of interest which provide a lot of useful information.

First was a good article on how to earn link love on the Marketing Pilgrim site.  It included such time honored traditions as “link out” and “comment on other blogs.” Now before you start saying “yes but this is oriented at blogs” consider that the tips provided work well for all sites, not just blogs.  Granted some items are blog related (like using trackbacks) but most other tips can be easily implemented into most modern CMS sites nowadays.  Even a hand coded site can use these with a little work.

The other MVP (Most Valuable Post) came from Todd, aka Stuntdubl.  It is one I’m sure you will bookmark and come back to again and again.

It was an interesting couple of weeks as far as link building news goes.  Still lots of debate over link baiting, as well as articles on why links matter, 66 strategies for getting links and more. So let’s get to it.

I’ve always been a fan of Search Engine Guide.  And this week has been no exception.  Jennifer Laycock has put together a great series on why links matter. Starting with part one and continuing through part two and part three, Laycock gives us a brief summary of what links are and how search engines use them.

It was a quiet week as far as link building articles and rants go, but we managed to pull together the ones that offer the most useful information.

From methods for passionate link building to search engines updating link counts we have it covered.

Well another couple weeks have passed so it is now time to again review the discussions
and articles relating to the link building world.

With SES London happening this week it has been a little quiet, but that hasn’t stopped many more authors weighing in the topic of link building.

It was a big couple of weeks for Google.  First they tackled their long standing “Google Bombing” practice then they gave us a way to see more of the sites
linking to our domains.

But Google wasn’t the only one making news.  Robert Scoble declared the “best linkbaiter" and there were a couple articles on grabbing links via linkbaiting as well as the potential pitfalls of a good text link.

Hello Everyone,

This is just a quick update for all of you who haven’t seen it yet.

Google has announced the release of a new link discovery tool.  You can now log into your Webmaster Central Account to retrieve a comprehensive list of all your backlinks.

Search Engine Land has already covered this in depth so I wont duplicate efforts here.

Rand over at SEOmoz has already run “total link count” comparisons between Yahoo’s Site Explorer and the new Google tool, and results are very promising.  Yahoo and Google are now showing similar results.

But one disclaimer for all of you professional link builders out there.  You can only view links for sites that you own, so this new tool has no value for competitive intelligence.

When it comes to link building there is no topic hotter right now than link baiting.  In fact it’s so hot it is almost boring.

That is because it is all the SEO and link building industry is talking about – What is link baiting? What constitutes “good” link bait?  How do I link bait? 

But we find that we aren’t the only ones getting a little tired of hearing about link bait.  Don’t misunderstand – we are big fans of the tactic, however as you are about to read, there are others who wish there was less link bait about link baiting.

Good Friday Everyone,

A lot of guys in our industry are having a little fun playing blog tag.  The idea is that you tag someone you want to learn more about, by calling them out in a blog post :).  It’s a good way to meet some new people and a great way to encourage some link love. 

Todd Malicoat(who happens to be a great guy and an awesome link builder) just tagged me, so here it goes.

1.  I’m an astronomy buff looking for a new telescope.  Anyone that owns an online telescope store that wants to barter some services, let me know.

2.  I love hot sauce.  Yep you heard me, I get the chills just thinking about hot sauces.  My current favorite is Trappy’s Red Devil.  I get frustrated every time I go to a restaurant, ask for hot sauce, and end up getting Tobasco.  When did Tobasco become the official hot sauce of the U.S.A anyways?

3.  I started my online career as a developer back in 1996-97. One of the first websites I ever built was for a local golf Association.  I first starting doing SEO about 5 years ago.

4.  I love the outdoors.  Partly due to me living in Alaska for about 4 years.  Once you go Halibut and King Salmon fishing, you’ll never go back...

5.  I’ve recently gotten very good at Ping Pong, although I’m nowhere close to as good as these guys

Now it’s my turn to tag someone.  Of course the problem is trying to find someone not already tagged, who also blogs frequently.

Cameron, Neil and Rand have all been tagged already. I don’t see that SEOFangirl has been though.  Neither has Rebecca from SEOmoz.  I dont know if Rand is going to let Rebecca post a tag reply though, considering how much they are working on trying to reduce the noise, but she is definitely one of my favorite writers.

Here are a couple other people in our industry who have been tagged.

Howdy folks,

We are looking to hire a few more link ninjas (term popularized by our friend Jim Boykin) to help locate and close link deals for our clients.

We prefer to hire in-house but with demand being what it is we are willing to work with skilled professionals remotely.

The basic requirements of the job are to hunt down and negotiate link placements.  If you think you have the eye for what a good link is, and are organized and self motivated, we are interested in hearing from you.

Please email me at jarrod (a)(t) textlinkbrokers.com with the subject “Link Ninja Position”

Hello All,

We just released the first version of our “Beginners Guide to Buying Links for SEO”.  We’ve included lots of useful tips on how to successfully buy links to increase your search engine rankings.  We plan on adding new sections frequently.  If you have any questions or sections you would like to see added, please email me directly at jarrod (a)(t) textlinkbrokers.com.  Please use the subject “Link Buying Guide”.
